2021-09-23Allow lisafs client to send more data than MaxMessageSize using chunks.Ayush Ranjan
The p9 client does the same. This allows applications to read/write >= 2MB of data. This enables the read write benchmarks to work with lisafs. Updates #5466 PiperOrigin-RevId: 398659947
2021-09-21[lisa] Implement lisafs protocol methods in VFS2 gofer client and fsgofer.Ayush Ranjan
Introduces RPC methods in lisafs. Makes that gofer client use lisafs RPCs instead of p9 when lisafs is enabled. Implements the handlers for those methods in fsgofer. Fixes #5465 PiperOrigin-RevId: 398080310
2021-09-20[lisa] lisafs package POC.Ayush Ranjan
This change mainly aims to define the semantics of communication for the LISAFS (LInux SAndbox Filesystem) protocol. This protocol aims to replace 9P and intends to bring some performance benefits with it. Some of the notable differences from the p9 package are: - Now the server implementations own the handlers. - As a result, there is no verbose interface like `p9.File` that all servers need to implement. Different implementations can extend their File implementations to varying degrees without imposing those extensions to other server implementations that might not have anything to do with those features. - If a server implementation adds a new RPC message, other implementations are not compelled to support it. I wrote a benchmark `BenchmarkSendRecv` in connection_test.go which competes with p9's `BenchmarkSendRecvChannel`. Running these on an AMD Milan machine shows that lisafs is **45%** faster. **With 9P** goos: linux goarch: amd64 pkg: gvisor/pkg/p9/p9 cpu: AMD EPYC 7B13 64-Core Processor BenchmarkSendRecvLegacy-256 82830 14053 ns/op 633 B/op 23 allocs/op BenchmarkSendRecvChannel-256 776971 1551 ns/op 184 B/op 6 allocs/op **With lisafs** goos: linux goarch: amd64 pkg: pkg/lisafs/connection_test cpu: AMD EPYC 7B13 64-Core Processor BenchmarkSendRecv-256 1399610 853.5 ns/op 48 B/op 2 allocs/op Fixes #5464 PiperOrigin-RevId: 397803163
